He Raises The Dead
Lazarus was dead and then he wasn’t. That’s the power of Jesus. He raises the dead.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, we’re reminded that this isn’t just a one-time miracle. Through the life of the Church, Jesus continues to bring people from death to life. In the sacraments, especially Confession and the Eucharist, we’re renewed, restored, and made fully alive again.
That’s what it means to be Christian. Not just following rules or being “nice but stepping into a life where grace transforms us, and through us, brings others back to life.
Give Me My Inheritance (Lent 2026)
Have you ever wanted God’s gifts, but not the relationship that comes with them?
Continuing their Lenten journey through the Prodigal Son, the friars reflect on the bold and painful demand: “Father, give me my inheritance.” They explore the deeper movement beneath those words, the desire to take control, to live on our own terms, and to separate blessing from belonging.
This episode looks honestly at the nature of sin: how we grasp at what was meant to be received, how freedom can be misused, and how chasing independence often leaves us isolated and burdened. What looks flashy and exciting on the surface can quietly bend the heart inward, cutting us off from the very love we were made for.
Join us as we ask the Lord to reveal where we’ve chosen autonomy over intimacy, and to lead us back to the freedom of being sons and daughters in His house.
Franciscan Jubilee
What do we do when the Church invites us to slow down and then calls us to go deeper?
In this episode, the friars reflect on the newly announced Jubilee Year of St. Francis and what it means not just for Franciscans, but for the whole Church. They share why this moment feels like a continuation of grace rather than a reset, an invitation to keep living the Jubilee spirit of holiness, simplicity, and trust.
They talk about St. Francis not as an unreachable saint, but as a brother who shows us how to follow Jesus with clarity and freedom. This conversation explores holiness as something concrete and lived: simplifying our lives, returning to prayer, falling in love with the Eucharist, and letting ourselves be captivated by Christ again.
Join us as we begin this Jubilee year together, learning, little by little, how to follow Jesus more simply and more fully.
Blessed Are The Peacemakers
If we aren’t at peace within ourselves, we often end up recruiting others into our inner battles. That’s why Jesus’ words in this Sunday’s Gospel matter so much: “Blessed are the peacemakers.” True peace doesn’t start “out there.” It begins by making peace with ourselves and before that, making peace with Jesus. Only then can we become people who bring peace into the lives of others. Like any true peacemaker, we have to face our fears, reject what pulls us away from God, and let Christ define who we are. That’s where real peace is found and where it can finally begin to spread.
Best New Year’s Resolution
As a new year begins, many of our resolutions focus on good things, like financial stability, relationships, personal strength. But none of those goals are eternal. They won’t be measured in heaven. What is eternal is our relationship with Jesus, the virtue we grow in, and the way we love. On the Feast of the Epiphany, the Magi, the shepherds, Mary, and Joseph all share one single focus: Jesus Himself. So set your goals for 2026, but don’t forget the most important resolution of all. One word. One focus. Jesus.
Are Science and God At Odds?
Is believing in science incompatible with believing in God? What about evolution, the age of the universe, or the Big Bang? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Edward explains why faith and science don’t contradict each other and never have. From the biblical account of Creation to modern scientific discoveries, learn how the Church understands time, truth, and the role of science in revealing the work of our Creator. Faith doesn’t fear science. When science is at the service of truth, it helps us better understand God.
